RMweb Gold mabel Posted October 26, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 26, 2016 i have a number of hoppers to patch into INRD. Can anyone recomend a decal pack? Or failing that, any advice as to which font they use? Thanks chaps Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glorious NSE Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 Would suggest one of the stencil lettering sets would get you close but probably not exact if you're talking commercial ones, but with a downside that you'll run out of certain letters very quickly!(Microscale 87-1324, or 87-1284 maybe?)A job for homemade decals maybe - that would let you get closer on font and produce a whole sheet of INRD (so less waste, and less mucking about cutting out individual letters?)  Nice to see another INRD fan btw... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold mabel Posted October 27, 2016 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted October 27, 2016 Looks like Highball graphics to the rescue a mixture of Machine and CargoStencil fonts. The INRD cars are for my WSOR trains. Lots of vids on YouTube with cars that have seen better days, patched for INRD. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
F-UnitMad Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 Archers (known for their 'rivet decals') do sheets of stencil lettering in various sizes. It's of the dry-rub type, like Letraset. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold mabel Posted October 27, 2016 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted October 27, 2016 Ahh, dry transfers :-/ Yup, wasted many £££'s trying to get them to stick (in one piece!!), to various items of rolling stock over the years Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not the glossness or the mattness (two new words for the modelling dictionary!) that is the problem. It is having Land Rover type finesse on a delicate 1/87 scale model Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
